Some of
you saw
combat
And some
of you
did not
What
each of
you
strive
for
Is
exactly
what we
got.

Protecting
our
country
Be it
State
side or
far away
Your
efforts
were
successful
A price
some had
to pay.
You did
your
very
best
then
Just as
they do
today
The
horror
and the
sadness
Will
never go
away.

Veterans
are
sometimes
forgotten
Many
wars and
years go
by
Yet you
stand
proud
and tall
Holding
your
heads up
high.

Each one
is a
hero
For the
sacrifice
you made
The
memories
never go
away
For the
price
that
many
paid.
Your
families
stood
beside
you
Just as
they do
today
So as I
end this
story
There is
one
thing
I'd like
to say.

The love
and
appreciation
The
dedication
too
I salute
you with
the
greatest
respect
My hero
proud
and
true.
Thank
you from
my heart
today
For what
you did
for me
May God
Bless
and keep
you
In his
arms
you'll
always
be.
